Tojiro DP Damascus

The core blade and double-bevel cutting edge of the DP Damascus series is made from the same pure stain-resistant high-carbon steel alloyed with Molybdenum as the standard DP series. However, in the Damascus series this is overlaid with 36 separate fine layers of steel, the layers alternating between high-carbon and low-carbon stainless, giving the knife exceptional strength. These layers are forged and polished to create a very subtle, shimmering patterning effect to the blade surface. The effect of this technique is called kasuminagashi in Japanese, which translates as floating mist. The hard-wearing handles are of ECO wood, reconstituted hardwood impregnated with resin.
